What Are Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels are professional skin-resurfacing treatments that use carefully formulated solutions to exfoliate damaged outer layers of skin. By stimulating cellular turnover, they reveal smoother, brighter, and more even-toned skin beneath.
At Afzal Clinics, we customize every chemical peel treatment based on your concerns, whether you are targeting acne, hyperpigmentation, or signs of aging. A professionally administered skin peel can range from light exfoliation to deeper resurfacing, depending on your goals.
These skin exfoliation treatments are safe, effective, and designed to improve both texture and clarity with minimal downtime.
How It Works
Our chemical peel treatment works by applying a controlled exfoliating solution to the skin’s surface. The solution gently dissolves damaged outer layers, encouraging the regeneration of new, healthy skin cells.
During your appointment, your provider will cleanse your skin thoroughly before applying the peel solution. The treatment remains on the skin for a carefully timed duration to ensure optimal results while maintaining safety and comfort. Over the following days, the skin may lightly flake or peel as new, smoother skin emerges.
Patients seeking a facial peel in Minnesota benefit from customized strengths and formulations that address their specific concerns.

FAQ's
What kinds of issues can the ZO 3-Step Peel improve?
ZO® Skin Health is a leader in the aesthetics industry and creates products backed by extensive scientific research. The ZO 3-Step Peel is a prime example and is one of the most popular types of chemical peels available.
Many people choose chemical peels because they can improve multiple skin issues with the same treatment. Some of the common skin complaints that chemical peels can treat include:
- Fine lines
- Enlarged pores
- Hyperpigmentation
- Sun damage
- Uneven texture
- Dull skin tone
It often takes a series of several peels to achieve optimal results. But you’ll begin to see improvements right away after your first treatment.
What are the steps in a ZO 3-Step Peel?
The first step is applying the chemical peel solution to the surface of your skin. The peel is formulated with lactic acid, trichloroacetic acid, and salicylic acid. This solution is left in place for a short time and works to remove the outer layer of skin.
Next, stimulating retinol cream is applied. Because those dead skin cells are gone, the retinol can penetrate far more deeply at this stage of the treatment. This step also provides a collagen boost.
Finally, a calming cream is applied to soothe your skin. This step relieves irritation and restores a normal moisture balance.
It’s normal for your skin to feel somewhat tight and dry for a couple of days after your peel. Within three to four days, you should begin to see dead skin cells sloughing off. Be sure to be kind to your skin during this process, and avoid picking at peeling areas or using harsh products.

How many sessions will I need?
Depending on your goals, you’ll likely need 3 to 6 treatments. We’ll schedule them several weeks apart to keep your progress on track.
Is there downtime after treatment?
Downtime varies depending on peel depth. Light peels may cause mild flaking, while deeper treatments may involve several days of peeling.
Can chemical peels treat acne scars?
Yes, peels can help improve the appearance of mild acne scarring by promoting cell turnover. For deeper scars, combination treatments may be recommended.
